Heraclitus is the first English translation of Volume 55 of Martin
Heidegger's Gesamtausgabe. This important volume consists of two
lecture courses given by Heidegger at the University of Freiburg
over the Summers of 1943 and 1944 on the thought of Heraclitus.
These lectures shed important light on Heidegger's understanding of
Greek thinking, as well as his understanding of Germany, the
history of philosophy, the Western world, and their shared
destinies.

Body Language: Corporeality, Subjectivity, and Language in Johann
Georg Hamann addresses the centrality of sensual perception to the
constitution of subjectivity and the resulting relationship between
subjectivity and language in the work of Johann Georg Hamann. In
positing the body as the entity that conditions a subject's
encounter with the world, Hamann, it is argued, prefigures a notion
of finite subjectivity that not only runs counter to the
Enlightenment tradition but also reemerges in nineteenth-
(Kierkegaard and Nietzsche) and twentieth-century (Benjamin)
discourses on the tension between subjectivity and the abstraction
of language. The paradox at the heart of this investigation is
Hamann's radical circumscription of reason as expressed through
language, which nevertheless attempts to recuperate the concept of
universal meaning through faith. Language is wrested away from
abstraction and, therefore, any universality, and becomes the
expression of the finite, corporeal subjectivity, a state of
limitation that is at once granted and resolved by a divine
creator.
